**Drama Gets Real in the Tech Industry. A Rare Gem. **
Didn't expect much before watching and was pleasantly surprised and it is amongst my favorites. Less K-Drama-style exaggerated plots, but more realistic office politics and struggle of experienced and reliable engineers, pertaining to the tech industry in the new world of a buzz word -driven industry - IoT, AI, and the likes.

The earlier parts were dreadful to get through, they did an awful job trying to hook the viewers but it got a lot better later on. Around episode 5-6 it started getting interesting and enjoyable. However, that didn't last for too long as there was a big downtime and disconnect in the story after episode 12. Meanwhile the ending was good enough but I hoped for something better. On the other hand, the drama had a decent selection of cast but I wish we got to see more of the support cast like Park Won Sang instead of filling it with redundant scenes. The drama was promising and good enough but it left a lot to be desired.
